Love your design work. But what's the deal with the Nazi user icon?

Fair enough. As loath as I am to praise anything related to the political movement which organized the slaughter of my grandparent's family, I cannot help but admit from a purely objective standpoint that the Nazis did have a certain undeniable sartorial flare.

Even if I had not seen the poster before, the helmet design is unmistakeably Nazi German.

By the way, I'm the guy you met at Axis of Evil who was rambling on about how cool your flyer was.

have you watched any of the made-for-HBO series about Rome. I think it is interesting.
